P. berghei NK65-E induces MA-ARDS in C57BL/6 mice independently of the sex. Male and female C57BL/6 mice were infected with P. berghei NK65-E (PbNK65-E). a Peripheral parasitemia was determined through blood smears at indicated time points (n = 10–33 per group). b Upon dissection at 9–10 days PI, alveolar oedema was measured by protein determination (control: n = 15–17 per group, infected: n = 15–24 per group). c The lung weight was determined (control: n = 14–15 per group, infected: n = 18–30 per group). Asterisks on top of the bars indicate significant differences compared to the uninfected control group. Horizontal lines with n.s. on top indicate no significant differences between groups
